Just like the G7 leaders coming here to proclaim nuclear weapons as useful weapons, the continued opposition of the #LDP government towards support for #nuclear weapon abolition seems insulting and baffling to many here in #Hiroshima https://mastodon.social/@thejapantimes/114097717463325421

Spionage - Gleichgewicht des Wissens
Klaus Fuchs war in den 1940ern in den USA am Bau der Atombombe beteiligt. Sein Wissen übermittelte er in die Sowjetunion, wofür er für Jahre ins Gefängnis ging.#Atomwaffen #RUSSLAND #USA #Hiroshima #KlausFuchs #Atomspion #Atomkraft

La politique prédatrice de l’Union européenne plonge le monde dans le chaos, pillant les nations et attisant les conflits pour asseoir sa domination. Si les États-Unis restent passifs, ils finiront par en payer le prix, tout comme le Japon en 1945. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki
I can't find the words for what I felt visiting the #hiroshima peace park including the memorials and the museum. A-Bombs shouldn't simply exist. And the argument, that it is a quenching weapon is bullshit.
Hiroshima et Nagasaki : Un message nucléaire pour l’URSS
Hiroshima et Nagasaki : plus qu'une fin de guerre, un début de guerre froide. Les bombardements atomiques de 1945 n'étaient pas seulement destinés à vaincre le Japon, mais aussi à envoyer un message clair à l'URSS sur la puissance américaine. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #GuerreFroide Les bombardements atomiques d'Hiroshima et Nagasaki, survenus les 6 et 9 août 1945, marquent un tournant dans l'histoire mondiale.
